You see, it’s only me


Centuries are pressed into the ground,
mysteries sensed in the soundless circles
we wander. A man climbed a tree

and threw a colourless tasteless scentless
thing down to me, and I saw
it was blue-green, peach flavoured,
and had the fragrance of pine needles.

I called it “vision”, and in the haze,
while it disappeared, my unsaid heart
learned to wander past the weapons

wielded by striding armies of men versed
in grimness and plot. Where shall I find
you again? In the arms of a goddess?
Laughing at the perfect sky? A man

entered a museum and heard the soft cries
of a thousand excuses as they wandered
through the rooms. Label me a polymath,
a connoisseur of potatoes. Let’s

take dear Mr Misguidedness out for coffee.
